TrulyMadly and Let’s Barter India are organising Book Barter Social in Bangalore. The event is a part of the dating app’s ‘Bombat Bengaluru Takeover’- a succession of 5 events in Bangalore within a month.

The concept behind the event is meeting new people over a simple barter of books. Each book will contain a bookmark with the original owner’s name on it and guests will be encouraged to find the person whose book they picked up. HarperCollins India, publishing partners of the event shall especially contribute their latest books to the event kitty, ensuring variety at the event. Guests will also be served some of Church Street Social’s best grub and beverages and engaged through fun games.

Sachin Bhatia from TrulyMadly says, “We wanted to create an opportunity for people to meet over a common interest in an informal setting just like they do on TrulyMadly. Book Barter Social has been a huge success in Delhi, Jaipur and Chandigarh and I’m sure we’ll see a great response from Bangalore too!”

Pooja Bhayana from Let’s Barter India says, “Barter is the core of our brand and we want to encourage people to exchange as much as possible! Bringing back the concept of barter, this is a platform for people to meet and exchange, based on a shared interest”
